Trial Delayed for Charles City Couple Charged with Child Endangerment

A trial delay has been granted for a Charles City man and woman charged with child endangerment.

20-year-old Madison Geerts and 23-year-old Ezekiel Larson were arrested last September by Charles City Police after investigators say their then-four-month-old infant was injured while in Larson’s care and neither Larson nor Geerts sought medical attention for the child until four days later. They are each charged with child endangerment causing serious injury, a Class C felony.

Larson and Geerts have both pleaded not guilty and their trials have been rescheduled for a third time. A motion for continuance was approved Tuesday and trials were moved from February 21st to April 4th in Floyd County District Court.
